I lost a pinion bearing (at just 45k miles) in a "99 XJ. It has the Chrysler 8.25 rear in it... Got it out OK, the bearing seized and spun on the pinion heating and scarring it quite efficiently.
So the pinion is too damaged to re-use. :rattle:
You can't buy just a pinion, so I just got in a whole new ring and pinion.
I am familiar with the Dana/ Spicer stuff, but not this Chrysler which utilizes a crush bearing... Anyone have insight :lecture: or tips to do this swap right?
